Leo, Gwyneth, and Tori take top honors in our readers' poll
While EW magazine was looking back at the greatest entertainers since the 1950s, we asked EW Online's readers to take a look forward. They nominated and then voted on the greatest entertainers of the next century.
The initial results yielded a surprise or two. For instance, Kevin Spacey and Ed Norton beat out flashier stars for the top spots in the Best Movie Actor category. But, as you'll see below, Leo made a major comeback to take the number one spot, with Ewan McGregor skipping to number two. Tori Amos soared past Alanis (the former frontrunner) to the top female musician spot, and TLC triumphed over Dave Matthews as the best group.
